Alderman primarily will be responsible for finding identifying acquisition opportunities for Bristol to operate which would be presented to FelCor Lodging Trust or other asset owners with Bristol as a potential joint venture partner. Alderman will also use his extensive industry contacts to develop leads for new management contract opportunities. For the last year, Alderman has identified acquisition targets for Bristol in the eastern United States. He also worked in a development role for Holiday Hospitality (now Bass Hotels and Resorts) prior to joining Bristol. 

Campbell will concentrate on securing new management/leasing contracts for the company outside of Bristol's relationship with FelCor, in addition to pursuing potential management company acquisitions. Campbell's 14 years of hotel operating experience with Bristol will prove invaluable in demonstrating to property owners the value of Bristol's operating group as the company seeks to procure additional hotel operating agreements. 

``I look forward to working with both Jim and Pat as they take on these very important roles that will maintain Bristol Hotels & Resorts as the industry's premier independent hotel operating company,'' stated Executive Vice President/CFO Jeff Mayer. ``Both have been very successful over the last several weeks in executing Bristol's new growth strategies as an independent operator. We're very encouraged by the number of high quality contract opportunities we're finding.'' 

Bristol Hotels & Resorts is the largest independent hotel operator in North America and operates the largest number of Bass Hotels and Resorts branded hotels in the world. Bristol's more than 120 hotels include nearly 33,000 rooms in 27 states and Canada. Hotels operate primarily in the mid-priced to upscale segments of the industry and are located in 19 of the top 25 lodging markets in the United States. Bristol operates nearly 100 Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn properties and is a leading franchisee in Bass' billion-and-a-half-dollar modernization program. By the year 2000, Bristol Hotels & Resorts will have overseen the investment of $400 million in the redevelopment of Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels.
